"Whenever I prepare for a journey I prepare as though for death. Should I
never return, all is in order."
Katherine Mansfield
There are several Things to Do in Bodhgaya while you are here on a historical
trip. An urge to face death many times becomes associated with a sacred place
as Gaya in India. It is also thought by Hindus that if the last rights after
death are performed in Gaya, the departed soul goes to heaven. Bodhgaya, situated
very near to Gaya, however, does not essentially talk of death, but by virtue
of its spots related to Buddha and Buddhism obviously reveals the essence of
Nirvana (salvation) through a magnificent historical atmosphere.
You will find so many Things to Do in Bodhgaya in order to make your trip a
fabulous one. You can explore Bodhgaya by going to various tourist destinations
surrounding here. Here you will get to enjoy a range of exciting sightseeing
trips and excursions.
At Archaeological Museum you will find a great collection of Buddhist and Hindu
relics, terracotta seals, scriptures and railings/pillars from the Sunga period
(1 BC to 1 AD). Make a journey to the house to meet the rich past of this city
